Tampa police say DeSean Jackson case inactive, think WR a victim

TAMPA, Fla. -- The case involving Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson's wrecked vehicle found abandoned with bullets and marijuana inside is currently inactive because they don't have any witnesses or evidence to place the driver behind the wheel at the time of the crash, the Tampa Police Department said Thursday.

They also believe that Jackson was a victim and had no role in the incident.

Instead, police say that Jackson's friend Therrian Fontenote was the one driving the vehicle at the time of the December crash, which resulted in significant damage to the vehicle and minor property damage.
